New 50/10 Service, Have Questions

Got 50/10 hooked up yesterday. Have a SB6120, my receive light is blue and I get my advertised download speed. My send light is green, which I guess means it isn't bonded and I am only getting around 5 up. What are my options.

Thanks.

Upstream bonding isn't used anywhere yet.

FWIW they seem to be at least doing trials in some areas, this guy seems to have it: »Re: [Connectivity] Cable modem drop outs

dam he lives in jacksonville. thats not too far away from me lol .i wonder what kind of upload speed he gets with the channel bonding. comcast should let me test it out to see if i still get packet loss while uploading

The actual provisioned upload speeds probably aren't any higher just because there's bonding, it's probably more of reducing congestion on the upstream.

Do you have a router? Or are you testing with one PC directly connected?

Are you using »speedtest.comcast.net for testing?

I have a router. A Cisco E3000 with DD-WRT firmware. Speedtests haven't shown me much, however when I download with usenet, I get a sustained 6.3MB/s. Pretty close to 50M connection I should have. Most of the speedtest give me about 4M Up.

6.3MB is 50.4 megs, you're getting what you pay for, but as for the upload speeds, I wouldn't rely on speed tests to tell me what's what. Do a couple large downloads as a speed test (Usenet is pretty good so you're good there) as for the upload, try to find a good site that can take a 10 meg upload. I'd use a file backup site for that part. Services like that usually have a pretty good pipe

Take your router out and hook one PC up. Then run the tests again.

Okay, same exact speeds with or without the router. I get about 4M up on all of the speedtests. I seem to get the full 50M down. Any suggestions other than calling Comcast?
